Dimensional Descent

Leonel's gaze became sharp, and he didn't move immediately.

The next sequence of events happened so quickly it felt impossible to stop, but from start to finish, Leonel didn't even move. It was like he was resigned to it already.

He stood and watched as Veiga seemed to manipulate her own hoard of Ancestors, riling them up into a frenzy and leading them into a charge she never had any expectations of finishing off.

He didn't move even when they seemed to show signs of putting his own life in danger, and he only made some faint and subtle actions when he saw that part of her plans seemed to encompass his starships and their Fusion Cores.

In the past, Leonel hadn't been able to figure out how to separate the control Shield Cross Stars had over their Fusion Cores from his control. Due to that, he had been unable to use the starships to attack other Humans and the individuals of Shield Cross Stars, especially. But since then, he had obviously overcome that weakness with his strength in Crafting.

However, there was a weakness that couldn't be stripped from Fusion Cores, and that was their susceptibility to instability. Veiga obviously wanted to use this as a method to carve out a path of escape, and he just made a movement to stop this.

In the end, the real reason Leonel hadn't taken any action showed itself as his people began to act oddly. Some starships turned to face one another, some began to directly battle without a word, and in the far-off distance, Yuri even seemed to be on the verge of directly killing herself.

It was a house of madness.
